San Francisco Lumber Co. v. Bibb

This is an action on a contractor’s bond. The bond in question, by all its provisions, and in express terms, ran in favor of the owner of the contemplated structure. It provided that the contractor should perform all the terms of a certain building contract, entered into between the owner and himself, with a liability in her favor for damages not exceeding twenty-four hundred dollars, with a further provision, that if he should perform his contract, the obligation of the bond should be discharged.

All these various provisions ran solely in favor of the owner of the building by name.
